Take a look at what 8-year old consoles took from gaming standards-

These are all user created mods doubling the resolutions.

Instead of making the game for PC and then downgrading it for decrepit consoles, like Witcher 2...Bioware lost all credibility with me, on top of degraded animations.

Honestly, it doesn't look like a big deal to me.

We could have had a game that looks like this cinematic by now if it weren't for consoles.

Maybe I'll care once my rig is complete, but until then, cry more. You have your community mods, so why are you complaining about it?

Because they will be random and might not even work with Origin?? And 90% of people don't scavange the internet for improvements for their games?

Several reasons actually.

First and foremost, this is not a Bethesda product complete with tools and the right to change most every aspect of the game. So every mod naturally stays on the texture or coalesced surface. No new animations, no dialogue, no new objects or meshes.

I wonder why it is that PC players *always* sound like the most whiny, nasally-voiced gamers there are. And frankly, while they look good, it doesn't seem like that big of a change.

You again? Did a console murder your family or are you just childishly negative towards anything that has to do with consoles?

Well, your tv set is much more forgiving than a computer screen. There are textures in this game, the alliance dress uniform being one of them, where the textures are nothing short of an eyesore in their blurryness. Same goes for certain parts of the gear.

It's most obvious in the cutscenes.

If that comes over as being whiny, well most of us aren't content with a presentation that was standard in 2005.

No, it's just that human life span is too short for a specific hardware to halt all progress for almost a decade.
Also, quite a lot of games are unique experiences and will never be made again.

Please explain to me what is childish about this?

He has a point, you know.

Why are companies settling for the lowest quality when they could put out quality depending on the platform used?

Answer: It's cheaper not to care about quality.

And therein lies the crux of what Bioware has become by now...

"Halt all progress"? I suggest you look up the definition of halt because you obviously don't know what it means if you think consoles have halted anything.

Sounds like you're the one in that need for a lookup.

I have a new word for everyone to look up: melodramatic.

Seriously, yes it's disappointing Bioware were lazy and didn't do high-res textures etc for the PC, but the way people talk about consoles here lacks any kind of objectivity in any way.

Has anyone noticed that assault rifle sound in the cinematic sounds better than anything in ME games, or any game for that matter, why is that quality not in the game?

Mass Effect was originally an Xbox 360 exclusive until they ported it to PC. Those graphics do look nice though, but some of us just don't have the knowledge, or the money to build a gaming rig.

(True story, also PC gamers have to be the worst kind of gamer. They're not glad to be part of a greater gamer fraternity, and would rather show off their latest hardware, which incidentally is out of date the second they bought it, and then it's back onto the upgrade hamster wheel. Where the focus should be on the games, gameplay and actually having fun, with PC gamers it's really a "how big is my ****" competition.)

What do you expect from ancient hardware ?
256 MB (PS3) or 512 (x360) ? My PC already had 1 GB six yers ago.

And you don't need to look far just look at this graph, here is your answer
As you can see consoles were "outdated" already on release.
